It also could be if you're still using 8266 vs esp32 or if you're on Arduino vs esp-idf. Arduino esp32 is a wrapper on top of the idf so not sure what added things could be slowing the program? Static ip might be even faster! Also, I have it initialized station mode. I do recall the d1 mini having a really low quiescent current. Yea the converters can also take up power I separate that and place it on a jig.
